'Multiple pictures, multiple positions': Father's shock as he finds naked photos on Game Boy he gave children for Christmas

A father in Tucson, Arizona is recovering from the distress of finding naked pictures on the Game Boy he gifted his children for Christmas.

Cameron Willett bought the refurbished gaming toy as a special treat for his five and six year olds and couldn't believe his eyes when as he tried to set up the parental controls, he came upon a slew of naked photographs.

Returning the device to the GameStop branch where had purchased it, he demanded an explanation and was given a brand new Game Boy as a replacement with a grovelling apology.

'It only takes one picture to ruin Christmas,' lamented Mr Willett while speaking to a reporter he called from local station K-Gun TV. 'God if [my daughter] would have seen that, I mean, I don't know what I would have done.'

It wasn't just one picture, but a few he recalled describing his shock. 'Multiple pictures, multiple positions, just not a good Christmas present,' he said.

When he took the device back to the Foothills Mall, the managers were regretful and returned the Game Boy as 'defective' according to the credit receipt he received.

Despite the replacement, the initial disappointment and concern that this might have happened to others still resonates with Mr Willett.

'I was a lot let down,' he said. 'We did what we could and scrounged up money to make Christmas happen and this is what we got.'

In response to a report made with Mr Willett's participation by P On Your Side, GameStop then released a statement saying: 'We are currently researching this transaction and our top priority is to try and make this right for our customer.

'We have a process in place to ensure that existing content is removed from all devices before they are re-sold. In response to the situation, our store teams recently double-checked each pre-owned gaming system as an added preventative measure.'

But Mr Willett isn't convinced by the statement and told 9OYS that their 'so-called process isn't working.'

'GameStop neglected to check them, they sold them, we bought them, but ultimately the victim would have been my daughter,' he said.

According to 9OYS's consumer report, this is not the first time GameStop has been accused of selling faulty refurbished products.

A few days ago in Denver, Colorado, a parent found pornography on his child's Game Boy.
